“
Coming from a sailing background, I’m acutely aware of the importance of the weather and tidal conditions when it comes to racing. At each race location I do my homework so to speak, especially locations I’ve never raced before. I look at the wind direction, wind speed, tidal flow, the tide times and change of tide, the topography of the ocean floor as all these elements play a part in how we set up the boat. The savvy navvy app is brilliant, it gives me all this information in one place. I can plot the GPS coordinates of the race course and know exactly what will be happening at that particular time of the day at that exact location. The technology and detail provided within the app is second to none, usually there are multiple places you need to go for this level of detail, but savvy navvy gives it to me in one very user friendly app on my phone.

Australian based powerboat racing team 222 Offshore, current UIM Class 1 World Champions, is partnering with award-winning marine navigation app savvy navvy.
Driver Darren Nicholson and his 222 Offshore crew are using savvy navvy for offshore championship racing preparation, as they are currently getting ready for the Key West World Championships in the USA in November while also continuing their campaign in the XCAT World Championships in Europe and the Middle East.
Darren, from New South Wales, Australia, is a former three time World and National Sailing Champion, with brother Chris and were Australian Yachtsmen of the year. The switch to powerboat racing was made in 2013. He has since won multiple National Championships and two World Championships – one in the XCAT’s and one in Class 1.

Simplifying boating technology has always been the aim of savvy navvy, founded by lifelong sailor and ex-Googler Jelte Liebrand. He was baffled at the amount of data sources you needed to get a clear picture of where you were, what the tide was doing, what weather to expect, how to plot your course to steer and how to find a good anchorage or marina and then how to share your plans with your buddies and family. He focused on tech that is already in the hands of most boaters. So, turning a phone or tablet into your boating buddy seemed like an obvious next step. Since then, savvy navvy has attracted global users from all over the world all using the app to help their experience on the water. As part of savvy navvy’s continuous growth, they have expanded to support kayakers, jet-skiers and paddleboarders with simplified navigation. Today savvy navvy is available on Android, IOS, PC and Mac and can be used on five separate devices. Find out more on www.savvy-navvy.com
